Per Pat:
How the over-amped coach body surfing across his players in a winning locker room over a then-ranked Nebraska team can become a complete whuppin’ in Iowa City eight days later is anyone’s guess, including Fleck’s?
And, yes, Fleck did offer the traditional explanation while digesting an extra-bad defeat. The quote is always, “It’s all on me,” which is nothing in meaning or sincerity.
How could a coach with a 37-38 record in the Big Ten (he’ll get even again Saturday against lowly Michigan State) with his belief in bringing in players with strong character go from $3.5 million annually when hired to more than double that in under a decade if he actually believed it was his coaching that causes defeats such as last Saturday’s?
We aren’t buying the it’s-all-on-me hogwash, Coach Fleck, although your devotion to switch to “prevent offense” late on a bad Saturday has become a tradition worth a laugh.

Reusse: Over 8.5 seasons as the Gophers head coach, Fleck has led them to a sub-.500 Big Ten record — is he the right man for the job?
Since being hired as the head coach of the Gophers in 2017, P.J. Fleck has led Minnesota to a 37-38 record in the Big Ten and is still searching for consistency within the program.
